Gilgeous-Alexander Shines with 35 Points, Thunder Overcome Warriors Without Curry

Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shone once again, scoring 35 points to lead his team to a crucial 105-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors, who played without their star, Stephen Curry, due to pain in both knees. Despite Curry’s absence, the Warriors fought until the end, closing the gap to just one point in the final seconds of the game.

Key Moment: Wiggins Can’t Tie It Up

With just 11 seconds left on the clock, Andrew Wiggins hit a 3-pointer that made it 103-102. However, after Gilgeous-Alexander missed a free throw, Wiggins had the chance to tie the game with a layup. But Thunder defender Luguentz Dort blocked his attempt, securing the victory for Oklahoma City.

A Great Performance by Gilgeous-Alexander

Gilgeous-Alexander, who had already scored 37 points in Monday’s victory over Sacramento Kings, continued his impressive streak. With 13 of 28 from the field, he was once again the key player in Oklahoma City’s offense, leading them to their third consecutive win. 

Kuminga Returns Strong, but Warriors Can’t Overcome Curry’s Absence

On the other hand, the Warriors saw the return of Jonathan Kuminga, who had missed two games due to illness. Kuminga scored 19 points, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Thunder. Despite strong performances from the Warriors, Curry’s absence was noticeable, and the team fell to 3-1 in games without their two-time MVP.

Thunder Take Advantage of Warriors’ Mistakes

One of the key factors in the Thunder’s victory was their ability to capitalize on Golden State’s mistakes. Oklahoma City scored 15 points off 11 turnovers committed by the Warriors in the first half.

What’s Ahead?

Oklahoma City will continue their four-game road trip, visiting the Los Angeles Lakers this Friday, while the Golden State Warriors will travel to Phoenix on Saturday to start their own two-game road series.
